Do not take lightly small good deeds, believing they can hardly help: For drops of water one by one In time can fill a giant pot. Patrul Rinpoche #Buddhism

If we don't critically analyze things, we become lost in a world of make-believe that has very little correspondence with reality. Shantideva compares self-obsession and its attendant conflicting emotions to a demon: "All the harm with which this world is rife, All fear and suffering that there is, Clinging to the "I" has caused it! What am I to do with this great demon?!?" The Buddhist definition of a demon is something harmful. "The Practice of LoJong" –Traleg Kyabgon #Lojong#Buddhism
